Bicycling FIAT - The Lingotto Fiat Factory 1921 - 2007, Turin
TheLingotto Fiat Factory, build in the 1920s is not only a masterpiece of industrial architecture but also an utopian anticiapation of car manufactoring in Europe. The factory has a racing cors on top of the factory that was used until the 1980s for testing cars before the factory was decommissioned. Today the factory is a shopping and entertainment center with a hotel and many other facilities. "La pista" as it is called in italian has no particular use and is closed to the public because the racing track is not in a well mentained condition. I was able to get access and bicycle several turns and decend on the caroussel end of the factory.
